St. George Island Light

While exploring the island yesterday afternoon, we visited the St. George Island Light.  In 2005, the lighthouse fell into the Gulf of Mexico.  In 2008, concerned citizens lead by the Apalachicola newspaper editor rebuilt the lighthouse at a protected location close to the town center.  They also built a keeper's house.  Both the lighthouse and the keeper's quarters were built using the original plans for the structures.
